I previously mentioned our barn renovations, and last week my parents came down to celebrate Sam's birthday as well as help us paint the barn. Sam and my Dad's birthday are a day apart so we ended up putting my Father to work on his birthday. Didn't really seem fair but he has always helped us paint our houses or do other major renovations. Here he is up on the ladder painting the trim. We finished painting the entire barn and attached chicken coop red, but still have some of the trim to finish up. The paint has added new life to the barn, hopefully it will be good for another 10 years or so.
Thanks Dad!

A great looking barn. Is there any reason why it is painted red?

It is de rigueur in the US to have a red barn. Supposedly started out because iron oxide based paint (red) was cheap, but now it is just tradition.
